    What proxy are using? I've tried like 20 I swear, and none of them will work. :(

    Man, Im so sorry. That's horrible of Disney to be so ethno/geocentric and lock out non Americans. Thats almost like China's censoring of the web.

    But...I hate to say this...but Muppets.com has horrible navigation, and acts so buggy sometimes. It's almost impossible to know when there's new videos, or even where to find them. You think it wouldn't be too impossible to make it so one can easily see in descending order when new videos are posted and easily access them. They dont even have a pause button.

    They do have a pause button, it's on the slider.

    "Lying down is nice." *lol* Bobo needs Weight Watchers :p

    Beau LIFTS Bobo? I have to see this...
  6. Mary Louise Member

    Sure, I've seen Beauregard take his hat off at least twice on the Muppet Show. Once was when he shyly asked Crystal Gayle if he could have her autograph.

    Crystal Gayle: You sure can. [Takes the paper he's holding and signs it.] There you go.

    [Beauregard puts his hat on and takes the paper back.]

    Beauregard: Okay, thank...Hey, wait, this is no good! It's upside-down.

    Crystal Gayle [turning it right-side-up]: How's that?

    [Beauregard stares at the paper in amazement.]

    Beauregard: How did you do that?

    Here's a clip with that exchange, as well as some other moments from the Crystal Gayle episode.

    I went to Muppets.com, but I got a message saying, "This content requires Adobe Flash Player 10. Do you want to install it now?" and I didn't.
  8. frogboy4 Inactive Member

    Most of the web requires Flash for video. This was only an update so you can watch the clip.
  9. Mary Louise Member

    Thanks, jamie. I can see the Muppets.com site now, and I saw the clip with Bobo and Beauregard. Odd, but when I saw Beau from the side, it looked like he had grown ears shaped like Bobo's!
  10. frogboy4 Inactive Member

    Glad you could see this new gem. Beau's ears are kind of weird. Maybe he's getting older. I wonder if that's a refurbished puppet or a complete rehaul?
  11. Mary Louise Member

    Yeah, I don't remember Beauregard having any visible ears on the Muppet Show. I liked the Muppet Show's version of him better anyway. He looked more open and sweet, more wide-eyed and naive.
  12. Redsonga Active Member

    I remember Beauregard having ears for some reason, just that he always wore a hat/ had hair covering them...

    I loved the intro with the Luncheon Counter Monster and a rabbit and the new video with Gonzo in the desert.

    Shirtless Gonzo O_O
  15. ohtherain New Member

    Gonzo and the Jacobson characters have had updates recently, however I'm unimpressed with the fact that Kermit and Pepe have not had new videos in ages! When will these be coming?
  16. MWoO Active Member

    You are upset that two of the most over exposed characters are not getting videos?
  17. ohtherain New Member

    Saying it that way makes me feel so guilty...but yeah. Pepe is one of my favorite characters.
  18. jjevons New Member

    just went to muppets.com and saw a new video of beaker about voting for his performance of ode to joy. :)

    At first it seems like the site mostly just included a few of the main characters and generic animals like penguins and chickens, and when it was launched Jim Lewis said that Disney was then trying to focus on the main characters, but in recent weeks some lesser-known characters have been included, like Bobo and Beauregard in the recent workout video (it seems Bobo wasn't used for a few years, and now is pretty much making a comeback), and now Luncheon Counter Monster. I wonder who we'll expect next, Lew Zealand? Behemoth? {wishful thinking here...} Lips? Digit? Seymour? Let's get more of these obscurities out there!
  20. AnimatedC9000 Active Member

    Oh my gawd, that'd be awesome.

    If Lips and Digit were to appear in the same video together, I would just DIE... of joy... yesh...
